Just realized my old way of checking headspace was a bit off
An older smith at a meet in Boise watched me use a field gauge and said, 'Kid, you're just checking go/no-go, you're not feeling the bolt.' He showed me how to really feel for that slight drag with a fresh gauge set. I switched to his method and now I catch tight chambers I would have missed before. Anyone else have a simple check they learned that made a big difference?

That "feeling the bolt" thing is a great way to put it. I used to just look for the click myself, and I'm sure I let some sketchy stuff slide because of it. It's one of those simple changes that makes you feel a bit silly for not doing it sooner.

Wasn't there a whole article about this in a climbing mag last year?
